As his fingers unconsciously twitched twice, Shen Mo gradually regained consciousness. Hiss, his waist and back hurt so much, the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart, and his muscles were also moaning. Maybe he heard her painful voice, A pair of soft little hands held her palm.
"Sister? Are you awake?"
"...Xuan?" Shen Mo recognized the familiar voice. She opened her eyes, but it was too dark and she couldn't find her sister. She let go of her little hand, and after a short running sound, A small desk lamp was turned on. Shen Xuan covered the light with his body. After watching his sister's eyes gradually adapt, he put the lamp on the desk and returned to the bed.
Shen Xuan took the other two pillows placed on one side and placed them next to Shen Mo, helping her to do it. "Drink some water, sister." The water cup on the bedside was also prepared. Drink the warm water. After drinking the sugar water, Shen Mo finally felt a lot more comfortable.
Shen Mo's consciousness was still a little sluggish. It was only then that she realized that she was wearing pajamas. She looked around under the light and realized that this was her bedroom: "When... did I come back?"
"In the afternoon, Brother Jiang Yan said that you fainted on the road and he was the one who carried you back."
Is that so? Shen Mo recalled that when she was unconscious, she seemed to vaguely hear his voice talking to someone. "How long have I been unconscious? Where is Jiang Shao?"
"It's been almost five hours since you lay down. Brother Jiang Yan... left you after he brought you back." Looking at his sister's anxious expression, Shen Xuan finished his words in confusion, "He said he might not come back at night. , let us lock the door ourselves.”
Shen Mo's expression looked a little dull: "...Leaving?"
"Well... let's go."
As if talking to herself, after asking, she leaned on the pillow and murmured: "... It's good to go. Well, it's good to go." The cold and frozen expression made it impossible for her sister to tell what she was thinking. Shen Mo just looked at the familiar desk lamp.
She didn't know what to think about either.
That's it, that's it - the guy who suddenly appeared suddenly disappeared again. This kind of development is consistent with his second-rate appearance, isn't it? It would be better for a man who makes people see a mess and mist to just disappear like this.
By the way. They said that Huang Wanwan might be in such a state of despair that sooner or later he would be imprisoned or dealt with by others. If that were the case, wouldn't the family's debt be written off in this way?
Find another job, borrow some money from Aunt Chen, and Xiaoxuan can go to school when school starts in the fall. I heard that there are also places that provide opportunities for social candidates to go to college. Maybe I can also——
"elder sister?"
"Well, what's wrong?" Shen Mo finally realized that his expression might be too stiff. By the way, he should be smiling at this time - Shen Mo grinned and tasted a hint of salty bitterness.
"Why...are you crying?"
"Eh?"
He touched the corner of his eyes with his stiff and sore hands. Really, these were tears. Looking at his sister's blank face, Shen Mo hugged Shen Xuan into his arms with sadness in his heart, "It's nothing, it's just... some things have finally been resolved. Very Happy."
"Really?"
"Well, really. Just really happy."
Shen Mo hugged Shen Xuan's slender body tightly, tears falling uncontrollably. She covered her eyes with the sleeves of her pajamas, trying her best not to cry. Really, even she realized that she was really Too fragile. The successive twists and turns and tired body made her whole body vulnerable, but she had to restrain herself.
"...Jiejie," Shen Xuan's voice became a little painful, "you hug me so tightly..."
"Ah, I'm sorry." Shen Mo let go of Shen Xuan in a panic. Shen Xuan coughed twice. Maybe it was because it had been a long time since sisters got along like this, and she also had a smile on her face.
"Ah, by the way. Sister, I have something to show you. Please wait a moment."
Shen Xuan ran out of the bedroom and ran in with the iron box with stickers on it. "Sister, look!" Like a child who wanted to show off her toys, she took out a few sheets from the box and stacked them neatly. paper, "This is the test paper I made!"
On the front is a neatly drawn answer box, and the multiple-choice questions even have fill-in boxes. The dense handwriting and proofs in the answer box are clearly Shen Xuan's handwriting.
"This paper is... my midterm paper."
"Well, yes, sister, do you still remember?"
I remember. Of course I remember. It was a test to make a decision. I got first place and then left school without looking back. The score on this answer sheet was very objective. The final score was frighteningly high. It had exceeded Her degree of completion at that time.
"Sister, do you still remember what you promised me at that time? If I can get higher than you in the exam, then--"
"I promise you one thing, I remember it." Shen Mo held Shen Xuan's face with one hand, put down the test paper and said with a smile, "Tell me, what do you want?"
"I..." Such a gentle gesture made Shen Xuan feel a little uncomfortable, and he hesitated not knowing what to say.
What will Xiaoxuan want? I haven’t asked such a question for a long time. I don’t know what she will like...
Shen Xuan took a deep breath and said loudly: "I want my sister to quit smoking."
"Hmm...huh?" Shen Mo didn't react for a moment, "Xiao Xuan, what did you say?"
"I, I said..." Shen Xuan's voice shrank back, "I want you to quit smoking, sister..." Seeing that Shen Mo didn't respond, he blinked again and whispered, "Can't you?"
"Why not?" Shen Mo touched Shen Xuan's head, "Sister just thinks you can get something for yourself. If you want your sister to quit smoking, just tell me."
"I was worried that my sister would be too stressed and wouldn't want to listen to me, so Brother Jiang Yan discussed with me that if I learn well, maybe I can..."
"...Jiang Xian?" Shen Mo was stunned, wondering why his sister mentioned this person, "What happened to him?"
"It was the night you and Brother Jiang Yan quarreled over smoking. I heard your voices. The next morning we talked about this matter, and Brother Jiang Yan said he was willing to teach me how to read...ah, he didn't mean to force me to read. I hope you quit smoking!" Shen Xuan added: "He brought back the box of candy, and he said that if you want to smoke, just eat the candy. Neither of us touched the box of candy, it was specially left for you. "
In this way, the handwriting and outlines on the test paper were indeed not Shen Xuan's handwriting. Only then did she realize that the paper in her hand was not the paper she had saved, but the special manuscript paper, ink, and stationery sold in bookstores. Japanese manuscript paper is something that requires a lot of consumption. Shen Xuan, who has barely gone to school, doesn't know where to buy these things. "Well, these stationery and test papers are..."
"Brother Jiang Yan bought them all with his own money. He made the test papers and answer sheets himself. There are also reference books and other things. I asked him how much he paid for them and he didn't tell me." Shen Xuanman He explained slowly, every word struck Shen Mo's heart.
"He taught me how to solve problems, how to use books, and take notes. He also taught me how to use answer sheets, clarify the format, and how to solve problems more easily. Sometimes he even gave me questions... ah, and he also made them for me. Vocabulary book. Put it in... Huh?"
Shen Xuan took the iron box and found three word books from the corner. Also, he turned out a thick stack of Longmen coins. They were rolled up tightly and placed in the corner of the edge of the box.
"This is……"
"I'm afraid...Jiang Yan put it in."
...Yes, he is this kind of person. A person who cares about other people's feelings and chooses to ignore himself.
"Xiao Xuan," Shen Mo asked, looking at the girl whose life was still as blank as a blank slate: "What kind of person do you think Jiang Yan is?"
Shen Xuan was a little confused: "He is... a good person, um... is Brother Jiang Yan a bad person?"
"No, you're right. He's a good man."
She wanted to say something more, but by chance, a violent "Gulu Lu" sound came at an inappropriate time. The two sisters looked at each other awkwardly and laughed at the same time - this was Their stomachs protested together.
Shen Mo took out half of the rent agreed upon with Jiang Shao from the stack of banknotes, took out a few and handed them to Shen Xuan: "Go run errands and buy some good things. Today, my sister will treat you... to a big dinner."
"That door..."
"Don't lock it." Shen Mo put the test papers and money papers back into the box, "If he comes back, we can just open the door for him."
At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door. Then there was another sound of rummaging for things and the sound of keys unlocking. The old door creaked open, and the visitor ran to the door.
"Shen Mo!...You're awake." Jiang Shao breathed a sigh of relief, "Listen up, I'm coming back to find you - pack up your uncle's and aunt's things and your things, now..."
"It's okay, no need to explain. Xiaoxuan, go collect your things and bring the box from Mom and Dad's room."
——If I tell you, "I'm here to find you," at this time, I hope you can believe me.
Shen Mo looked directly into Jiang Yan's eyes: "What should we do?"
